Anonymity as a buyer at auctions
Summary: pe-32143 asked why their full identifier is visible in auctions, while other bidders only have anonymized identifiers. perfect-sally explained that each user only sees their own identifier in full, and all other identifiers appear encrypted. pe-32143 thanked them for the answer and acknowledged the error in their understanding.
Hello, when I appear as a bidder in auctions my full member ID is shown. Now I see that with other bidders only an anonymized form of their ID appears (e.g. " p****r(3456) "). What, and above all where, can I change in my account to make this form appear?
Maybe someone has a helpful tip. I’ve been looking for an explanation or instructions for this for days now - but unfortunately without success. I’d be grateful for your help! pe-32143

Mentor1 week agoOf course you see other users’ identifiers encrypted and only your own normally. The other bidders don’t have it any different; for example, they also see your name encrypted.
There’s nothing to set there.

OP1 week agoMany thanks for the quick response. That's how it is, when you can't see the forest for the trees. Sorry for the banality of my question!

Mentor1 week agoHi @pe-32143
you don't need to apologize for asking a question, no matter how "trivial" it may seem. That's what a forum is for. Each of us started out here at some point.
Kind regards from the Baltic Sea
